Since retiring from playing, Ian Wright has been a regular fixture on both television and the radio.

In the late 1990’s he even had his own chat show on ITV called Friday Night’s All Wright on which he interviewed A-List celebrities which ran for two seasons.

He has since fronted a variety of programmes including Friends Like These, I’d Do Anything and The National Lottery Wright Ticket as well as a spell as a team captain on the popular sports quiz show They Think It’s All Over.

Wright was also a presenter on Channel Five’s evening magazine programme Live From Studio Five but left after eight months after a fall out with the show’s bosses.

He also spent time coaching and joined MK Dons in 2012 as part-time first team coach working alongside manager Karl Robinson.

Unfortunately he had to leave after a year due to his other commercial commitments but he is currently working towards obtaining his coaching licences.

The pair fell out whilst on England international duty when Wright, who was in his first training camp, kept losing the ball due to nerves leading to McMahon loudly criticising him.

Wright never forgot this ‘bullying’ so when Manchester City and Arsenal met in a league clash a couple of years later he got his revenge.

Although Wright said it was accidental, he went in for an over-zealous challenge on McMahon and his foot slipped straight into his groin splitting his penis all the way down.

Years later, McMahon said that every time he was aroused it would start hurting and he would think of the former Arsenal striker.

In his book Wright also revealed that he has lost eight houses and is still facing income tax issues from bad financial advice in the 1990’s.

In 2017, Wright revealed that he had been rejected for a part as a stormtrooper in the Star Wars film The Force Awakens.

A friend who was working on the film as a director of photography tried to get him a part in the film but Wright was deemed too small for the role as the minimum height for a stormtrooper is six-foot and he stands at five foot nine.

A regular on the radio since 2008, Wright has previously worked on talkSport and is currently a co-host on Absolute Radio’s Rock N Roll Football and BBC Radio 5’s popular 606 football phone-in programme.

On television Wright has provided punditry on the BT Sport channel as well as analysis on the BBC’s iconic ‘Match of the Day’ show and for ITV Sport for their coverage of England international games.

He also appears each week as a studio guest on Sky Television’s Debate show.

These four at the back worked at their game every day in training and they were a well-drilled unit.

Their defensive work was like an art.

LM – Marc Overmars – I’ve never seen anyone with the pace he had. You couldn’t catch up with him. His movement, coming off the line, the way he would move defenders with the pace he had, he was impossible to mark. Just an unbelievable player.

CM – Bryan Robson – Captain Fantastic who I played with a couple of times for England B. The ultimate midfielder for me who had everything.

CM – Paul Gascoigne – for me the best midfielder England has ever produced. Before he did his leg in the 1991 FA Cup Final he was one of the best players in the world.

RM – Paul Merson – a top class player who could score goals and he set lots up for me.

ST – Dennis Bergkamp – the best player I ever played with and world-class. I don’t think I ever saw him have a bad touch.

ST – Teddy Sheringham – I still haven’t seen anyone as good as ‘The Bear’ was in terms of awareness.
